High frame rate with a mobile phone : a Vorticella

[Chas]

Prompted by topcode's ToupeTek high speed video footage.

Here is a rough idea of what the 'slow motion' option of a mobile-phone camera over the eyepiece looks like (not as fast as the topecode's camera)

Unfortunately this 3 year old phone has a scratched camera glass which is why there is flaring around the eyepiece and a nasty dirty-coverslip effect




{It is 480 fps at 720P through a Lomo 15x eyepiece with the Lomo 20x objective (I think)}

The camera sensor is Sony IMX586.

That's nice! I haven't actually ever found any vorticella, so its pretty cool to see them slowed down.
